Reply to comment by Gimbloy in Will ChatGPT Replace Google? by SupPandaHugger

the main problems are

  1. it hallucinates if it doesn't know the answer, giving straight misinformation (this is probably why google hasn't released yet)

  2. it doesnt give you links to sources (it probably could if it was enabled)

Maybe. But it’s useful for the common case of just getting basic information. Google is not that good with complex questions either.

hallucinations are a kind of wrong information. advertisements could be described in the same way. it's related somehow to what you are looking for, but is biased in a way that makes in unreliable and unverifiable.

there is an argument to be made that people dont care so much for perfect information, but rather care about access and presentation

the presentation of info with Google search is horrible compared to Chat-AIs
